InfoAccess is the new exciting GIS-based map application that was developed by Dutchess County OCIS as a shared service. It is integrated throughout the Beacon website wherever you see the InfoAccess icon

The general premise of InfoAccess is to take a broad-range of location-related information and make it viewable in themed "categories" on GIS maps.

Examples

Some examples are municipal buildings, schools, health care facilities, transportation and much more. InfoAccess is also used to map locations for activities, such as public meetings and local events. The Information, Census Data, and listed Activities change as the user selects "categories" and zooms to different locations. A unique component of InfoAccess is that the application can be displayed from various website pages; automatically focusing/zooming in on specific locations and data categories.
